2023 Chenin Blanc
Tasting notes
Fresh and expressive, our Chenin Blanc bursts with aromas of grapefruit, honeydew melon, and delicate jasmine. Layers of apricot, quince, and a touch of cucumber and fennel add complexity. The palate is bright and balanced, with juicy citrus and ripe stone fruit leading into a mineral-driven finish. As it opens up, subtle notes of honeycomb and beeswax emerge, adding depth and intrigue.
Grapes were destemmed, pressed, then fermented and aged sur lie for 8 months in 50% neutral French Oak, 20% stainless steel and 30% new French Acacia Puncheon.
